Lynette and I met about the BAM Bag-a-Long<\/a>  at Sew Day the other day. We went over the sketches she made for cutting and she also made a test pocket.<\/p>\n

It turns out, from the test, that we need to make sure the participants buy the zipper sizes that are given in the pattern. The way Natalie finishes the zippers is a lot easier with zipper tape than it is with zipper teeth. This thought\/method of making is contrary to the way most bag patterns are written.<\/p>\n

It was interesting to see the large pocket finished, because you can see the flange (look for the WonderClips) in a big way. It is very clear that there is a different construction going on to finish the secondary pockets and keep them away from the edges.<\/p>\n

Lynette said that it made the directions a little difficult to understand. Still, the thought of keeping the bulk away from the edges is a good one.<\/p>\n

The bottom of the pocket also has a pleat so that larger non-flat items can be included.<\/p>\n

I plan to make a sample of the small front pocket so I can test out making a WonderClip holder. I hope to get it done by the next meeting.<\/p>\n
